Come and experience a musical storytelling in the dramatic setting of the Oak Room in the Sheepdrove Eco Conference Centre. The venue is easily reached from the nearest villages and towns including Lambourn, Hungerford, Newbury, Wantage or even Oxford.

Live and untamed

Maxine Parsons the event organiser says, “We have lots of local families coming. They love the fact that this countryside venue gives their children a chance to enjoy live classical music that they otherwise would not experience. You can feel the music through the floor – it’s untamed, not moderated on an mp3 player.”

“The music is beautifully arranged for 2 pianos and a narrator, and it is to be presented by internationally acclaimed musicians, Mikhail Kazakevich, Elena Zozina and Richard Morris. We devised this original event for these very few 2009 pre-Christmas performances.”
